Pick Your Team Preliminary Final : Warriors vs Broncos team list

[Dlenai]

Those broncos fans at broncoshq think we’re getting a drubbing.

Realistically they probably should be right.

But Melbourne in Melbourne 2011 was strange wasn’t it

Our club DNA is that we generally get up for Broncos games, even if it’s regular season - Daniel Anderson placed heavy emphasis on the broncos back in his era

It’ll be an awesome game. All the pressure is on Brisbane to win it.

The storyline of Reece Walsh facing us for the first time, in a GF qualifier is crazy.

They have strike out wide and all over the park really.......but the game will be won or lost in the middle.

Haas and Carrigan simple as that.......need to stand up to them, or even get over them.......easier said than done they've been outstanding.

Yep exactly. People spend so much time analysing edges, but games are almost always won and lost in the middle.

Knights had an Origin centre, Superstar FB, and the speed and power of Young/Marzhew.

Yet they all looked ordinary because their forwards got smoked. No platform on attack, always on the backfoot on D.

If Haas, Flegler, Carrigan dominate the middle, our backs will look like reserve graders.

If AFB, Barney, Tohu and the baldies can dominate, SJ will own the game and our backs will be fine.

What do you see you next Tuesdays think ?
Can we beat Brisbane and more importantly will we beat them ?

More bullshitter than heavy hitter- was that cockney slang or did predictive text get u?
Either way- since u asked….
I would be amazed if there were any changes to the 17.
I’m a big believer in never changing a winning side and even a little superstitious about it so I’m hoping there’s not cause that would put me right off me shot.
I honestly think we’re gonna beat them wrighty.
Ive been saying for a couple of years the broncos have the most talented squad in the comp but there is also a lot of ego and errors in that lineup that I believe we can exploit.
The knights were the perfect warm up in some senses- both have exceptional outside backs and I can see our kick chase dragging them into deep water and they’re not used to playing off the back foot- the knights back 3 were flustered and we can rinse and repeat that.
Walsh, like ponga looks a million dollars when he’s running downhill but as we well know when the boots on the other foot he can also be a liability.
Their pack is a big step up from the knights though and that’s gonna be a hell of a clash.
Here’s a wee story for ya…
I went to the 2001 gf- parra were a very young side who had smashed all attacking records on their way to the minor premiership and came in red hot favorite’s to account for the unfashionable knights.
I just happened to be there when the two team buses arrived- the parra boys got off first and looked pretty happy with themselves then the knights starting coming off their bus and Andrew Johns started yelling- look at them- they’re a bunch of kids- they’re shitting themselves- they’re not ready for this etc…. U could tell it rattled some of the parra boys and the knights came out and absolutely blitzed them.
It was men against boys- that’s what I see here- a bunch of brilliant young upstarts against a team of hardened battlers ready to take it into the trenches.
It’s gonna be a hell of a game.

Strange middle, very effective though.
Niukore comes back on for Curran around this time.

Almost like Webby's taken the small mobile forwards model to the next level, 'the no props at all model'.
We're witnessing the last stage of the plan, the Final Webolution.
Also he was clearly saving Addin for the Broncos, the Knights were merely a training run.

 

[WahsaurusRex]

Definitely can't change a team after a win like that.

Can understand maybe wanting to swap Jazz to Ale or Bunty, but I think Jazz' impact is as much intangible as it is run metres, tackles made etc.

Also, how good that we finally got the matching set for Bald Bro Tries..

Someone on this site put a bet on at the start of the year when they were paying $46 to win the competition

That was me (or at least I'm one of them!) - $40 bucks at $46 pre-season for a delightful birthday present to myself

I think it went higher than that. I got them at 51 but I suspect it went upto mid to high 50s

Pulled in a favour from a guy I know at Broncos HQ.. got 'Inner Sanctum' tickets.. IE checking out players via 1 way (CIA Styles Interrogation) glass, Drinks for an hour n a half in the private lounge then tickets on half way. All sounds mint apart from the fact the 3 of us will be in middle of Broncs die hards. Going to be entertaining when my missus drinks too much and starts dropping C bombs at them... lol.. good times!!

 

[Dantheman]

This is feeling like 2011 all over again in terms of an ambush. I reckon we will get over the Broncs.

I've been saying all year that AFB is going to steam roll Walsh for a winning try in an important game - it is going to be this one.

 

[Fonzie]

Ok we have officially gone global. I just got interviewed by the New York Times about the season and this weekends game.

 

[Burty]

$2600 later……I’m ready! Is it Saturday yet??

 

[CWC]

360 opening was Anaista and Tallis saying up the Wahs lol

 

[Super Freak]

Good luck Saturday guys.

It's going to be a bloody good match.
